Hong Kong, 26 February 2011 – Hong Kong based company Ecopoint Limited today announced the launch of Ecopoint.asia, the first web based community of its kind focused exclusively on the Asia region– dedicated to serving the needs of practitioners and professionals working in the fields of climate change, the environment, clean technology and sustainable business.
Jochen Kleef, Chairman of Ecopoint Limited, said: “We’re pleased to announce the launch of ecopoint.asia as THE Asian eco-community. Practitioners ourselves, we’ve been frustrated for years that there has been no one place on the Internet for like-minded people from Asia to come together to share their learnings and collaborate on solving some of our world’s most complex challenges. ”
“That’s why we’ve created Ecopoint: to be the first place online in Asia that people in our field seek out to share their success stories, learn from the leaders, connect with their peers across the region and mobilise change for the better. ”
“It’s early days, but already we’re able to point to a ...
... number of firsts for Asia: the first place on the web to provide high quality, comprehensive directory listings of green companies and organisations country by country, across the Asia region. Until now it’s been incredibly hard to find, say, a specialised waste management supplier in the Philippines. Now you can – we’re very excited about this feature, which will continue to grow and be added to over time, not just by our team, but by members themselves. ”
“Ecopoint is also the first place online in the Asia region dedicated to connecting green entrepreneurs with like-minded investors, from early stage startups to more established businesses seeking capital for expansion. Our EcoDeal platform provides rich functionality for entrepreneurs to promote their ideas, seek funding and collaborate with potential partners. For investors, it gives them access to the latest, freshest and most exciting innovations across the region.”
“To be even more useful to our community, we’ve added in tools for jobseekers to connect with businesses looking for just their skills sets and interests, and for companies to reach out for passionate and enthusiastic people across this fast growing eco-community here in Asia.”
“We’re adding great articles from thought leaders all the time, with real world stories of success here in Asia: Ecopoint isn’t about replaying the latest news from all over the web. There are many sites out there that do that. Articles on Ecopoint are written by practitioners with first-hand knowledge of the unique challenges and opportunities that are specific to Asia.”
“Content on Ecopoint is very different to the many eco-news sites out there: people who write for Ecopoint are given the luxury of going into much greater depth, producing articles that are genuinely insightful, genuinely useful to decision makers and practitioners across Asia, as well as users outside Asia who are interested to know what it takes to succeed in this fast growing, complex and fascinating place.”
